[Electronics-talk] aps for IOS device

Mon Apr 8 17:57:04 UTC 2013

There is an app that I found recently called drop & play. It allows you to 
put your music in to dropbox and play it from there instead of loading music 
on to the phone with itunes.  It is accessible with voice over and looks 
easy to use.

You will need iTunes if you want to back up your content on your I
device to a PC. You can do this with iCloud, but if you have a lot of
content it will cost you.

I view iTunes as a necessary evil.  I deal with the app Store from my
iPhone.  I only deal with iTunes on the PC when I absolutely have to.

Hi,
The app store is very easy for me to use on the phone, so it's my
preferred way of buying apps. I see no reason whatsoever to use iTunes
to buy apps for my phone. Despite what others might say about how well
they get along with iTunes, I think its interface is cumbersome and
unwieldy at best,  a monumental pain in the butt to use.  With the
exception of rare occasions when I add new music to my phone, I avoid it
like the plague. My discussions with people about iTunes almost always
degenerate into obscenity-laden rants, so I'd best get out of here
before that happens.

Tom
